The Hotel Montgomery is a treasure of San Jose that was considered cutting edge when it opened in 1911. With its recent renovation, it has once again established itself as a bastion of taste, comfort, innovation and style. Today's techy traveler will be quite content to discover the Hotel Montgomery, a chic and contemporary environment where they can tap on their laptop or mingle with fellow business travelers in style.

The legendary Chip Conley, CEO, will speak at the event. Chip has always been the chief visionary and cheerleader within Joie de Vivre, one of America's most innovative hotel companies.

When you choose an unpronounceable, audacious name like Joie de Vivre (meaning "joy of life" in French), you build some extraordinary expectations about your company. Chip has always been the chief visionary and cheerleader within Joie de Vivre, one of America's most innovative hotel companies. Starting with The Phoenix, San Francisco's legendary rock 'n roll hotel, which Chip created at age 26, he's always been on the cutting edge of what's new in hospitality. He grew Joie de Vivre from three to thirteen boutique hotels between 1993 and 1997 making it the second largest independent hotelier in Northern California. By 2003, the company was operating more hotels in Northern California than anyone else: hotels, motels, luxury campgrounds, restaurants, bars, and day spas.
